Fiesta: Geddie stars on Ford Fiesta debut

Porsche Carrera Cup GB regular Glynn Geddie starred during a one-off outing in the Ford Fiesta Championship at the weekend.

The Scottish driver led both races at Silverstone before settling for fourth and second place finishes in the highly-competitive Competition Car Insurance-backed series.

Starting third on the 22-car grid for Race 1, Geddie had the lead on the first lap and held position for the first three laps before being back-ended as the lead pack came on to the National Straight. He lost three places in the process but brought the car home to complete the 20-minute race in fourth place.

In Race 2 Geddie started fourth and made a superb start as he grabbed the lead by the first corner. Holding the lead for the first part of the race the Apex Tubulars-backed 20-year-old dropped to second position but kept up with eventual winner David Grady all the way to the flag.

"It's been a good weekend and I'm happy to have given the team a podium,” said Geddie. “Of course it would have been nice to go one better - I think we were on for the win in Race 1 if we hadn't been tagged. In Race 2 there was no way of getting past the leader as he seemed to have more speed on the straights.

"However the Kempster Ford team have done a fantastic and very professional job in preparing the car all weekend so I would like to say thank you for the opportunity of working with them, and wish them the best for the remainder of the season."
